With current weather conditions drastically increasing the risk of wildfires, our teams have been ​working with Rural Crime and have been carrying out joint patrols and engaging with visitors. Additionally clear signage, and key advice has been provided at popular picnic spots.
​⚠️ Please leave disposable barbecues at home. In tinder-dry conditions, a single spark or lingering ember on dry grass can trigger a devastating wildfire.
​Help us protect our beautiful landscapes, wildlife, and local communities.
​Simple steps to keep our open spaces safe:
​❌ Avoid using disposable barbecues or open flames in rural areas.
​🚭 Ensure all smoking materials are completely extinguished and never thrown from vehicles.
​🗑️ Take all litter and glass bottles home with you—glass can magnify sunlight and ignite dry grass.
​🚨 If you spot smoke or a fire in the countryside, call 999 immediately.

Gyda'r tywydd presennol yn cynyddu'r risg o danau gwyllt yn sylweddol, mae ein timau wedi bod yn gweithio gyda Throseddau Gwledig ac wedi bod yn cynnal patrolau ar y cyd ac yn ymgysylltu ag ymwelwyr. Yn ogystal, mae arwyddion clir, a chyngor allweddol wedi'u darparu mewn mannau picnic poblogaidd.

⚠️ Gadewch farbeciws tafladwy gartref. Mewn amodau sych iawn, gall un wreichionen neu farwor sy'n aros ar laswellt sych sbarduno tân gwyllt dinistriol.

Helpwch ni i amddiffyn ein tirweddau hardd, bywyd gwyllt a chymunedau lleol.

Camau syml i gadw ein mannau agored yn ddiogel:

❌ Osgowch ddefnyddio barbeciws tafladwy neu fflamau agored mewn ardaloedd gwledig.

🚭 Gwnewch yn siŵr bod yr holl ddeunyddiau ysmygu wedi'u diffodd yn llwyr a pheidio byth â'u taflu o gerbydau.

🗑️ Ewch â'r holl sbwriel a photeli gwydr adref gyda chi—gall gwydr chwyddo golau haul a thanio glaswellt sych.

🚨 Os gwelwch chi fwg neu dân yng nghefn gwlad, ffoniwch 999 ar unwaith.

⚠️ High Fire Risk: ⚠️
​During recent joint patrols with Dyfed-Powys Police and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, we’ve unfortunately seen continued evidence of beach fires and disposable barbecues along our coastline.
​Here is why this is so dangerous:
​Extreme Dry Conditions: With no rain, coastal vegetation like gorse and grass is tinder-dry and ignites instantly.
​Invisible Hot Spots: Hot embers left buried in the sand can stay dangerously hot for hours, posing a severe burn risk to children, dogs, and barefoot walkers.
​Putting Pressure on Emergency Services: A single runaway wildfire diverts crucial fire and rescue resources away from other life-threatening emergencies in our community.
​Our coastline is breathtaking, but it’s also vulnerable right now. Please help us keep our communities safe:
❌ DO NOT light fires or campfires on the beach or coastal paths.
❌ DO NOT use disposable barbecues in dry, coastal areas.
✅ DO pack a picnic instead and take all your litter home.
​If you see an unattended fire or a wildfire, call 999 immediately.
​Let's protect our environment, our communities, and our emergency services. 💙
​
​⚠️ Risg Tân Uchel: ⚠️
​Yn ystod patrolau ar y cyd diweddar gyda Heddlu Dyfed-Powys a Pharc Cenedlaethol Arfordir Penfro, rydym wedi gweld tystiolaeth barhaus o danau traeth a barbeciws tafladwy ar hyd ein harfordir yn anffodus.
​Dyma pam mae hyn mor beryglus:
​Amodau Sych Eithafol: Heb law, mae llystyfiant arfordirol fel eithin a glaswellt yn sych fel llwch ac yn tanio ar unwaith.
​Mannau Poeth Anweledig: Gall marwor poeth sydd wedi'u claddu yn y tywod aros yn beryglus o boeth am oriau, gan beri risg llosgiadau difrifol i blant, cŵn, a cherddwyr troednoeth.
​Rhoi Pwysau ar y Gwasanaethau Brys: Mae un tân gwyllt sy'n rhedeg i ffwrdd yn dargyfeirio adnoddau tân ac achub hanfodol i ffwrdd o argyfyngau eraill sy'n peryglu bywyd yn ein cymuned.
​Mae ein harfordir yn syfrdanol, ond mae hefyd yn agored i niwed ar hyn o bryd. Helpwch ni i gadw ein cymunedau'n ddiogel:
❌ PEIDIWCH â chynnau tanau na thanau gwersyll ar y traeth na llwybrau arfordirol.
❌ PEIDIWCH â defnyddio barbeciws tafladwy mewn ardaloedd sych, arfordirol.
✅ PACIOWCH bicnic yn lle hynny a chymryd eich holl sbwriel adref.
Os gwelwch dân heb oruchwyliaeth neu dân gwyllt, ffoniwch 999 ar unwaith.
Gadewch i ni amddiffyn ein hamgylchedd, ein cymunedau, a'n gwasanaethau brys. 💙

Rydyn ni’n gofyn i bawb osgoi tanau gardd yn ystod y cyfnod hwn o dywydd poeth, sych ⛔

Gall hyd yn oed tân bach ledu'n gyflym, gan beryglu gerddi, eiddo, bywyd gwyllt a mannau agored cyfagos.

Os ydych chi'n clirio gwastraff gardd, ystyriwch ddewisiadau eraill fel:

👉 Compostio
👉 Defnyddio eich gwasanaeth casglu gwastraff gardd lleol
👉 Mynd â gwastraff i'ch canolfan ailgylchu leol

Trwy osgoi tanau gardd a chymryd gofal ychwanegol yn yr awyr agored, gallwch helpu i atal tanau damweiniol a chadw ein cymuned yn ddiogel.

I gael rhagor o wybodaeth am ddiogelwch yn yr ardd, ewch i: https://pulse.ly/ihohf5x4iq


--------

We're asking everyone to avoid garden fires during this period of hot, dry weather ⛔

Even a small fire can quickly spread, putting gardens, property, wildlife and nearby open spaces at risk.

If you're clearing garden waste, please consider alternatives such as:

👉 Composting
👉 Using your local garden waste collection service
👉 Taking waste to your local recycling centre

By avoiding garden fires and taking extra care outdoors, you can help prevent accidental fires and keep our community safe.
